About Server Labs Aus

If you've ever found yourself down a rabbit hole at 2am trying to source the right HBA card for your Unraid build, or hunting for a reliable SAS expander that won't break the bank — you've come to the right place.

Server Labs Aus was born out of a genuine passion for homelab and server hardware. We're a Sydney-based business built by and for the homelab community. We know this hardware inside and out because we use it ourselves. That means when you're trying to figure out whether a particular HBA card will work in IT mode with your NAS, or which cables you need for a specific backplane, we're not guessing — we've been there.

What We Specialise In

We focus on the components that matter most to homelab builders and small server operators:

• HBA cards — LSI, Broadcom, and compatible cards for Unraid, TrueNAS, and custom NAS builds
• SAS/SATA cables and expanders — the connective tissue of any serious storage build
• PCIe expansion cards — NICs, USB controllers, and other add-in cards
• Server accessories and kits — the parts that are surprisingly hard to find locally in Australia

We deliberately keep our catalogue focused. We'd rather stock the right parts and know them thoroughly than carry everything and know nothing.

Why Server Labs Aus?

Sourcing quality server hardware in Australia has always been a pain point. Shipping from overseas is slow and expensive, and local retailers rarely stock the niche components homelab builders actually need. We set out to fix that — stocking the parts that matter, shipping fast from Sydney, and offering competitive rates for both domestic and international orders.

We're also committed to helping you get the most out of your hardware. Our blog covers everything from setting up HBA cards in IT mode, to getting started with Unraid and Docker, to Raspberry Pi projects and beyond — over 33 guides written to help you build with confidence. We also run an Unraid Email Course for those getting started with Unraid for the first time.

Registered Australian Business

Server Labs Aus is a registered Australian business (ABN 57 644 694 002), operating out of Sydney, NSW. We ship from Sydney with reliable domestic and international rates.
